Windows Media Player Control (Windows CE 5.0)
The Windows Media® Player control was created to enable Windows Media Player functionality to exist as an ActiveX control inside a Web page along with other content and hosted by the Microsoft® Windows CE® Web browser. The Windows Media Player control is a versatile tool for presenting local and streaming multimedia files.
Combined with DirectShow®, it supports Microsoft® Windows Media® technologies and other major media file formats. These file formats can be streamed from locally stored files using only the Windows Media Player control, and, when combined with Windows Media technologies, they can be streamed over networks.
The Windows Media Player control for Windows CE is similar to the version of the control that is available for x86-based PCs. The Windows CE Windows Media Player control supports an essential subset of the properties, methods, and events of the desktop control.
Windows Media Player control supports IPv6. For more information about IPv6, see Core Protocols of IPv6 and IPv6 Addressing.
